[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]College admissions are really changing since the pandemic. If either of the schools still has APs, I'd go there. The schools will tell you their honors are better than APs and they very well may be, but the bottom line is in a test optional world, APs are a way to definitely show rigor to colleges. Some schools will say that honors kids can take AP tests to demonstrate rigor, but that requires outside study and nobody taking a bunch of honors has time for that.[/quote]

Both schools still fully support having students take AP exams.  Both schools are phasing-out labelling classes as “AP”.

In many cases, the only change to the actual course is dropping the label “AP”, which label the college admissions offices do not care about.  So students continue to be able to take AP exams at school.  College admissions do care about scores/results from AP exams, but not the AP course labels.  The individual’s AP test scores/results are what actually matter to college admssions offices.  At both schools, students still are being fully prepared to take those AP exams.
